MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) – Memphis police shot and killed a 20-year-old man who was behind the wheel of a stolen car last Friday in Raleigh and investigators say the shooting was an auto theft ring's final chapter.

"When the officers got out of the car, two of the suspects jumped into one car and attempted to run over the officers and that's when shots were fired," said Karen Rudolph, of the Memphis Police Department.

Officers were first called to the Gardenwood Apartments because someone complained of prowlers in the neighborhood.

Jermie McCraven, who was killed after he tried to run over the officers, was connected to several auto thefts across the region over a six month period, according to police.

They say McCraven's crime stretched from Bytheville, AR, to Frasier and other areas across Memphis and the Mid-South.

Investigators say the group stole vehicles, rims and anything else of value inside cars and trucks.

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) – Two accused TV thieves are behind bars after the Memphis woman they allegedly stole from tracked down her stuff.

The burglary was an epic fail for two reasons. First, here was a determined victim with a lot of friends. Second, the dolly the accused crooks used was a dead giveaway.

The flat screen TV vanished from a house on Springdale.

The woman who owns the TV found no shortage of eyewitnesses because of an odd getaway choice made by the accused thieves.

Her TV wasn't the only thing stolen. Her mover's dolly had disappeared too. In fact, witnesses say they saw the men put the TV on the dolly and roll it straight down Springdale Street.

When the owner stopped inside King's Drive-In Grocery just a few doors down and relayed her story, the store's owner told her about the guy he'd seen earlier that day.
